Dog Training Hand Signals
We offer instruction using dog training hand signals in our advanced dog training course.
We will have the photos to represent the dog training hand signals ready soon, so please come back we will be using our using our beautiful little show dog.
Sit
Holding your arm straight down at your side you raise the forearm and hand from the elbow, palm up, above dogs head.
Down
Lower hand, arm extended and palm down, from a horizontal position towards the ground.
Stay or Wait
Full palm of hand is extended from shoulder height at arms length towards the dog (policeman's stop signal).
Come
Arms fully outstretched horizontally on each side then brought to meet in front of your stomach. (Angel of the North position to those of you who are familiar).
Heel
Dog walks on your left side. Tap left thigh with left hand. From front position, dog comes round your back from right side to left. From back position dog comes in on left. (on or off lead)
Off
To stop dog jumping up at you, say OFF as he rises to touch you and turn your back on him. Also use to get dog off a chair or other item by pointing away from item with extended arm. It is incorrect to use 'down' as it may confuse.
In
Point indoors or towards the item or vehicle you wish the dog to enter with arm and index finger fully extended.
Do you really need an illustration for this?
Out
Point outdoors or away from the item or vehicle you wish the dog to leave with arm and index finger fully extended.

Leave
Wave hand or hands with arms extended towards the dog and away from the object you wish left alone. May be used to stop playing with toys or to interrupt feeding.
Back
Wave hand from direction of dogs head in the direction you wish him to go, hold position pointing. Repeat to get dog to go further back. To keep dog behind move extended arm backwards, palm flat and facing towards dog.
Eat
Point at food bowl, arm and index finger extended..
Fetch or Get It
Wave hand from direction of dogs head towards item to be retrieved and point.
Hold
Place item in dogs mouth and place one hand palm up under the jaw and the other hand palm down over the nose, gently holding jaws tight on item. Step back and show palm of hand as in stay.
Give
Get the dog to sit first. Offer both hands to each side of the dogs mouth to take item. Grip and gently remove
Catch
Pretend to throw with underarm 'Bowling' motion while using other arm extended and palm facing dog in 'stay' command. When you throw remove stay command to free dog to catch object.
Bed
Point to dogs bed - this should not be used as a punishment - so smile.

Quiet
Waggle extended index finger vertically, from side to side, in front of the dogs face. The hand signal used here + eye contact can be interpreted as confrontational by dominant / aggressive dogs. Use of this sign towards a dog with such problems is inadvisable and if done you can expect the dog to react as though challenged.

Wee or Poo
Arm pointing downward with index finger extended is moved in a circling motion clockwise motion.
Watch Me
Point to your eyes using one or both hands until the dog makes eye contact. A very useful command to teach a deaf dog.
No
Point index finger straight at dogs head with elbow bent. The hand signal used here + eye contact can be interpreted as confrontational by dominant / aggressive dogs. Use of this sign towards a dog with such problems is inadvisable and if done you can expect the dog to react as though challenged.
